Johnny V to ride Mr. Hot Stuff

Key jockey switch here, going from Corey Nakatani to Johnny V, one of the best and brightest in the game.  Like my buddy George said, Mr. Hot Stuff would have won the SA Derby were it not for the fact he had a clown on his back.  Now he\'s guided by a real pro.  That\'s worth a move up by a few points right there, and dirt might do the rest. My prediction is he runs that zero and wins down the stretch with a masterful ride by Velasquez. Don\'t tell me he can\'t win because full brother Colonel John didn\'t make the same poly to dirt jump up.  CJ was strapped with that same 119 pounds of dead weight (plus seven lbs of lead) on his back named Corey Nakatani. With all the defections and some new speed horses joining the field, I\'m getting more and more hopeful about my 75-1 Vegas future book bet on this guy.  I\'m going to hook him up in the tri and super with FF, POTN, Dunkirk, and toss IWR trusting that Mullins/Talamo will screw it up, one way or another.
